Scrap Hack

Got a pile of scrap wood laying around? Here's a great way to give purpose to at least some of those boards. First, separate out the 2x4s and tile the assorted members into a simple tabletop. Next, secure the construction with pocket-hole joinery. Last: Embrace the makeshift, mosaic-like nature of the tabletop by applying different wood stains to the different pieces forming the whole. The result is a simple, unique, and eye-catching project that tells its own story.
